Lofgren’s bill would impose site-blocking requirements on broadband providers with at least 100,000 subscribers and providers of public domain name resolution services with annual revenue of over $100 million. The bill has exemptions for VPN services and “similar services that encrypt and route user traffic through intermediary servers”; DNS providers that offer service “exclusively through encrypted DNS protocols”; and operators of premises that provide Internet access, like coffee shops, bookstores, airlines, and universities.
Invest in VPN providers.
"Man we really got trounced in that election "
“Yeah we should really work on our image”
“Yeah. Oh I know! You know how everyone hated that tik tok ban?”
“Yeah?”
“Well what if that, but more!”
“But people hated the ban…”
“Oh right, no, the movie industry is paying us to do this.”
“Oh why didn’t you just say so.”
On the one hand, more Dems voted no on tiktok ban
On the other hand, you can bet any bipartisan bill is not in the interest of the American people
Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?
Yes, then they can blame him for it but still get paid by the oligarchs who wanted the bill.
Seriously.
This is a shit shit back to front now.
Sometimes I feel like democrats don’t actually care more about voters, they just care much more about appearances.
Idk man, that sounds like evidence based thinking to me, reported.
And rich people
its uh, definitely one of the feelings of all time reading through threads like this, assuming these are actual real people, spending their actually real time, talking about these actually real things.
Democrats: why won’t anyone vote for us?
Also Democrats: let’s be like the Republicans, they get so many votes! Let’s miss the entire point of democracy and just support large companies!
Because they want the big money donors more than they want to win. Their campaigns are above all designed to bring in money for the high-priced consultants.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Don’t settle for half measures.
Trump is president and this is their priority?
Of course it is, what else would you expect from the controlled opposition party?
Why wouldn’t it be? People’s interests don’t bring in money
Democrats once again losing on purpose.
When you forgot to educate your people well enough so you don’t have to worry about what they see.
These people were everyone’s hope? LMAO 🤣

Even out of power they still find a way to give hand jobs for industry donations and casually screw the public. I admire their energy.
Democrats: “Please for the love of God, don’t vote for us ever again! We really, really don’t want to win.”
Lemmy: "Fuck that, I’ll vote blue no matter who. You can’t tell me what to do"
Democrats:
D E M O C R A T singular, one. Not democrats. For fucks sake it’s on the bloody title!
Why are people so willfully ignorant?
US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) today proposed …
From California? Hmmm… Why would a representative from California put forward such a bill?
Cause people fail to awknowledge there is more to politics than just left and right, or progressive and conservative, etc.
The country is being burned to the ground from the inside by fascists, and this is the hill Democrat politicians choose to die on?!! Holy shit! What a fucking joke!
Corporate dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”
I don’t think it’s even corporate now. There are oligopolies/monopolies in each sector already
The shepherd and the dog might be in agreement.
Why would you not quote the first paragraph that explains everything about the law?
US Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) today proposed a law that would let copyright owners obtain court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to foreign piracy websites. The bill would also force DNS providers to block sites.
TBH it’s not that bad since it doesn’t affect VPNs or domestic piracy sites, ironically. It’s bad but it’s not the apocalypse like some other commenters suggest.
Just a step in the direction towards that, though. They’ll pass it, and people will still pirate. Then, they’ll claim the legislation wasn’t enough and pass another bill further encroaching on our freedom on the internet.
Maybe, but for now she doesn’t have a single co-sponsor. LINK TO THE BILL
The fact that this dumb bitch is trying to do this, a blatant violation of open internet ideas btw, as the technocracy makes its opening moves is the real problem.
I’m not sure where you’ve been hiding but Net Neutrality got struck down when we voted Fascists into power, so maybe cool it with blaming the dems for that one, pal.
I’m only blaming the Dems that support and author the decline.
But you should clarify you want people to vote for them anyways because any Democrat is better than any Republican.
Really uh…
Setting themselves up for success uh…
Great to see our representatives finally focusing on the real issues in these difficult times.
TBH they can’t really pass anything even if they wanted to focus on more important issues. Majority Leaders call votes and they’re both Republicans.
Shit birds. Hail the all important corporation. The line must move up. Hail the line.
